The Texas Department of Motor Vehicle rejected a specialty plate from the Sons of Confederate Veterans in 2011, which the court argued violated the free speech rights of the Confederate group. The judges ruled that the DMV engaged in "viewpoint discrimination" by not allowing certain specialty plates to be issued.

According to Colorado Gov. John Hicklenlooper, he had no chance against President Obama in a game of pool.

The governor told the audience at a National Governor's Association conference in Nashville, Tenn. that he "felt pretty good" about his ability to beat Obama going into the game, according to the Wall Street Journal. Hickenlooper said he even thought he might need to let the President win.

Anthony Cumia, the co-host of SiriusXM's comedy show "Opie and Anthony" who was fired earlier this month after a racist Twitter rant, on Saturday defended his tirade.

"If you read those — honestly people picked it apart. It wasn’t racist," he said on Fox News' "Red Eye" about his tweets following an incident in which he claims an African-American woman assaulted him.

Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), chair of the House Judiciary Committee, on Sunday said the House doesn't have grounds to impeach President Obama.

"We are not working on or drawing up articles of impeachment. The Constitution is very clear as to what constitutes grounds for impeachment of the president of the United States. He has not committed the kind of criminal acts that call for that," Goodlatte said on ABC's "This Week."

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), chairman of the House Homeland Security committee, said that while it was sad to see young undocumented immigrants at the southwest border, some of the teens looked like a "threat."

"It’s very heart-wrenching as a father to see that — mothers with their babies," McCaul said on "Fox News Sunday." "I also saw some 17-year-olds that I thought looked more like a threat to coming into the United States."

Attorney General Eric Holder brushed off Sarah Palin's call to impeach President Obama, taking a dig at the former Alaska governor's credentials.

"She wasn't a particularly good vice presidential candidate. She's an even worse judge of who ought to be impeached and why," Holder said about Palin in an interview with ABC's "This Week" aired on Sunday.
